To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH FARRAR, a sub j ect of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Halifax, in the county of York, England, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Spinning,Drawing, Roving, and Like Frames, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to the mounting of the top front rollers, the topback rollers, and the top carrier rollers, in spinning, drawing, rovingand like frames. Hitherto these rollers had pivot ends which rested inor against nibs placed at each side of each air of bosses on such toprollers, and upon w 'ch they revolved.

WVhen passing the roving down from the back to the front rollers, it wasnecessary for the operative to thread the roving between the backrollers with the hand, from behind, and then guide the end of saidroving between each pair of rollers and wait till the roving threadeditself through the same at a slow speed. Besides being a slow method,there was always considerable risk of accident to the operative.

The object of my invention is to simplify the construction of theseframes at this part, and greatly facilitate the threading of the rovingthrough the said rollers. In accomplishing this object, I dispense withthe aforesaid pivot ends of the top rollers and top carriers, also thecorresponding nibs supporting same, and mount the said rollers andcarriers upon nibs centrally situated between the pair of bosses of suchtop rollers. These rollers and carriers rotate upon each, side of theirsupporting nib, and their outer sides or ends being perfectly open andvoid of any encumbrance or im ediment, an open space is left betweeneach pair of top rollers and top carriers (extending from the back tothe front rollers), along which the roving may be I taken when being fedto said rollers.

WVhen puttin in a new roving, it is brought down from the Back to thefront through this open space and fed to the rollers sidewise, where itquickly works itself into the whole series simultaneously. By thesemeans and in this manner, upon putting new rovings into a frame, all therovings can be passed down and the frame got to work in much less timethan is usually required, thereby greatly increasing the work of theframe, while the risk of accident to the operative from this kind ofwork is reduced to a minimum.

Description of Drawings.

Figure 1 is a I sectional side elevation of front, back, and carrierrollers of one side of a spinningframe, with my improvements applied.'Fig. 2 is a view in the direction indicated by arrow, of a portion of aspinning frame shown at Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding par-ts throughoutthe several views.

According to my invention, I construct the top back rollers A, the topcarrier rollers B, and the top front rollers 0, without ivot ends, andwith their bearing necks or s afts D centrally between the pairs ofbosses of such rollers. These rollers are supported by nibs E (withinwhich the aforesaid necks or shafts D rest) and rotate upon each side oftheir supporting nib, leaving their outer sides, or ends, free of anyprojecting or impedimental parts for the purposes aforesaid.

The nibs of the top back rollers are preferably cast upon or form partof the back bar or saddle F which is secured to the standard or bearingF of the bottom back roller; the nibs of the top carrier rollers B arealso cast upon or form part of the bars or saddles H,

the latter being secured to the nib or bearing J of the bottom carrierrollers K. The nib of the top front rollers is in the form of a curvedarm which is bolted or secured to the front bar or saddle G.

The front top roller is provided with a Jpfiressing hook L which fitsbetween the fork 1 of the nib, this hook is constructed and operates inthe ordinary manner. The pressure hooks M of the back rollers-also fitbetween the fork of the supporting nib, but in this case the tensionspring is compressed beneath a projecting lug or fork N on the back railF.

R is the bottom front roller, and S the frame end.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a worsted or silk spinning frame, the combination with asupporting standard F 1 in which is journaled the bottom back roller, ofa saddle secured to said standard and provided with nibs E, top backrollers A having bearing necks D between the two bosses of said rollersA and j ournaled in said nibs the saddles H secured to the standard Jand pro vided with nibs E in which are journaled the bottom carrierrollers K, top carrier rollers B having bearing necks between the twobosses of said rollers B and journaled insaid nibs; the front saddle Gto which is secured the curved arm or nib E terminating in a fork E thetop front rollers 0 having bearing necks between the two bosses of saidrollers C, and journaled upon the fork E which also forms a support forthe pressure hook L, substantially as set forth.

2. In a worsted or silk drawing or roving frame, the combination with asupporting standard J in which is journaled the bottom carrier roller K,of a saddle H secured to said standard and provided with nibs E topcarrier rollers B having bearing necks be tween the two bosses of saidrollers and journaled in said nibs; the front saddle G to which issecured the curved arm or nib E terminating in a fork E the top frontrollers 0 having bearing necks between the two .bosses of said rollers Oand journaled upon JOSEPH FARRAR.
